On 12 January 2006, the Commission issued Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2006-3, announcing that it had received applications for broadcasting licences to carry on television programming undertakings to provide television services to serve Edmonton and Calgary, Alberta. The Public Notice called for applications from other parties wishing to obtain broadcasting licences to provide television services to Edmonton and/or Calgary, Alberta.
|
|
On 12 April 2006, the Commission issued Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2006-3-1, extending the deadline for submission of applications until further notice.
|
|
On 7 July 2006, the Commission issued Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2006-3-1, stating that the deadline for submission of applications was extended to 18 August 2006.
|
|
In response to this call, the Commission has received a number of applications for licences to serve these markets.
|
|
Some of these applications are technically mutually exclusive. These applications are:
|
|
For Calgary:
|
|
- Rogers Broadcasting Limited (item 5), MVBC Holdings Limited

These applications, along with Crossroads Television System (item 1) and The Miracle Channel Association (item 3), will be treated as competitive television applications for Calgary.
|
|
For Edmonton:
|
|
- Crossroads Television System (item 2) and MVBC Holdings Limited (item 8) are technically mutually exclusive, proposing the use of channel 45.
|
|
These applications, along with The Miracle Channel Association (item 4), Rogers Broadcasting Limited (item 6), and CanWest MediaWorks Inc. (item 10), will be treated as competitive television applications for Edmonton.
|
|
In order to use its time more efficiently at the hearing, the Commission may decide to question applicants on any matters related to issues common to both markets.
|
|
Item 11

The Commission intends to discuss various issues related to the use of local availabilities in US programming services for commercial advertising and any potential impacts that the undertaking proposed by Only Imagine Inc. would have on Canadian programming services and broadcasting distribution undertakings.

The intervention must be received by the CRTC and by the applicant on or before the above-mentioned date. The Commission cannot be held responsible for postal delays.
|
|
The intervention must include one of the following statements in either the first or the last paragraph:
|
|
1 - I request to appear at the public hearing.
2 - I do not want to appear at the public hearing.
|
|
Your intervention will be considered by the Commission, and will form part of the public record of the proceeding without further notification to you, provided the procedure set out below has been followed. You will be contacted only if your submission raises procedural questions.
|
|
Submit your written intervention to the Secretary General of the Commission in only one of the following formats:
|
|
by using the [Broadcasting intervention/comments form]
|
|
Or
|
|
by mail to CRTC, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N2
|
|
or
|
|
by fax at 819-994-0218
|
|
A true copy must be sent to the applicant and proof that this has been done must accompany the intervention sent to the Commission.
|
|
The Commission advises those who file and serve by electronic mode to exercise caution when using e-mail for service of documents or notification, as it may be difficult to establish that service has occurred.
|
|
Before initiating service through electronic mode, please ensure that you will be able to satisfy the Commission, upon request, that service of the notification was completed.
|
|
Where the intervention is filed by electronic means, the line ***End of document*** should be entered following the last paragraph of the document, as an indication that the document has not been damaged during electronic transmission.
|
|
Each paragraph of the document should be numbered.
|
|
Your intervention should clearly identify the application and indicate whether you support or oppose the application, or if you propose changes to it, include the facts and grounds for your proposal.
|
|
In the event that the application is brought to the oral phase of the hearing, and if you wish to appear, you must provide reasons why your written comments are not sufficient and why an appearance is necessary.
|
|
Persons requiring communications support such as assistance listening devices and sign language interpretation are requested to inform the commission at least twenty (20) days before the commencement of the public hearing so that the necessary arrangements can be made.
